Really enjoyed this one and tied it in with a lot of the Greenwich Park caches. Nice and easy, no complicated nonsense! Thanks!

Spent a day in Greenwich after taking a group of of Merchant Navy Officer Cadets on a trip to the Royal Observatory and the Maritime Museum. As The Bagsy Clan had already visited these places a few times before we thought we would spend the time being taken around Greenwich by 'Master mariners' splendid where-I-go game. It topok us to a few places we had never discovered in Greenwich before and the game played fautlessly. GPS was bouncing about a bit when trying to find the cache, but performed well in finding all the stages. Thank you for a nice day out in Greenwich.

Thank you for the good and informative wherigo through Greenwich! We saw many interesting locations and learned a lot! We had no problems with our htc... TFTC

Found today on what turned out to be a 12 mile walk.
Had already been to the top of the hill to do 2 virtuals, but knowing how temperamental Wherigos can be, didn't want to risk doing this at the same time. Shouldn't have worried though as this one was very stable on the Oregon.
Found the cache after a short search.

Started this wherigo already a few days ago but couldn't reach WP2 due to a closed gate
This evening, that one was open but we experianced a closed museum
We (me and my son "The poké) saw 2 other people entering the site via the side gate so we also entered that way
A guard came to us telling the park was closed, only the restaurant was open
I explained him what wherigo was so he guided us very kindly to the place to be
To make a long story short, this was a great wherigo with very nice places, we even saw a cricket game, I will never understand anything about that game
The cache was found by the Poké during twiling
Back on the road to our hotel, we passed the royal observatory to see London by evening but 2 policeman told us the park was already closed, we could only get out thru the back door what means a long extra way
A subtile question to get a lift with the policecar out resulted in a clear NO
Anyhow, we had a great time, tired but satisfied

Another successful Wherigo completion
Having completed "The London Wall" Wherigo yesterday,we decided to extend our experience of the type and try "Maritme Greenwich".We did actually attempt this one some time ago but could not get off on zone one "Cutty Sark",and although managing a couple of other zones at the time,encountered numerous crashes and lost information.Today we were back with a greater determination but wih the same Oregon 300 for a more in depth try.
No problems with the start and zone one this time and each task seemed to flow very smoothly.I suspect the zonal areas have been widened as they seemed to not be as "tight" on positioning,and tripped off close enough to GZ without the "fussy feel" these Wherigo caches often have.Our first glitch was at Trinity Hospital where I had just saved and was in the process of restoring the cartridge to continue.A reboot and all was well again and on we went.The same error occurred at The Observatory where another fatal error and crash switched the Oregon off - after saving the zone.I'm fairly sure this is a quirk of this particular GPS type and not the cartridge,as from then on it ran perfectly.With a lunch break at the Greenwich Union,we then continued on to successfully visit the remaining zones (the roses in the top gardens smell glorious at present).
With the physical cache location revealed and map plus hint added to the itinerary,we homed in on the spot for a straightforward find of the well hidden container,covered in its very effective camouflage.
A very satisfactory end to this challenge in an area we know well and are always pleased to walk around.We completed the walk in a couple of hours but we had visited many of the locations before and therefore didn't get "sidetracked".Many thanks for this cartridge which certainly earns a favourite point and is a good recommended introduction to this type of cache as there is much to see in the area if it all goes pear shaped.Greenwich is a great place to be,for whatever reason.TFTC.

Enjoying a sunny day off in Greenwich, we did this great Wherigo and found places we would never had visited, because sidetracked to the tourists routes. A great park and a funny hide made our day
TFTH and Cheers from Switzerland
